"RAM memory cards - what info is held on them?"

Advice needed please. Can anyone tell me if I give the RAM memory cards from my old PC to someone else can they access any of the files I had on my computer.?

I was all set to pass some cards on to someone but a friend told me that they may be able to access my info.l

Thanks guys - my mind is at rest now! I knew I could rely on some good advice from you.

As pete has just commented, I think your friend must be away with the fairies - rest easy, be at ease, feel no threat to home land security....give them away with your blessing and wish them well in their new home :-)

Have a nice day!

That's evil man !

But bloody funny ! :P

In answer to the original question your mate is not correct (nor is Alfonse ! :O ).It is safe to give him RAM from your PC,it does not retain any personal information from the system it was removed from.
